Set in present day Washington state, The Crossing chronicles a small town, led by the local sheriff (Steve Zahn), that is suddenly playing host to nearly 50 refugees (with hundreds more washing up dead on the shores) from an unnamed war-torn country. The real kicker: it’s a war from 150 years in the future, so there’s obviously a mystery/sci-fi element at play here. Part time-travel show, part character drama, it comes from the minds of Jay Beattie and Dan Dworkin, who have worked on such previous dramas as Surface, The Event and Revenge, and boasts an excellent cast.
